Hello All,
A tornado ripped thru my hard 2 weeks ago and damaged my camper. the insurance company towed it to Camping world. After talking with Camping world it seems most of the damage is superficial. (both front stabilizer jacks, 2 windows, outside front storage door, inside mirror, and 2 dents in one side of the laminate wall. (the roof needs to be re-sealed as well) :scratchhead: However the cost to replace the laminate wall alone is slightly more than the value of the camper (2003 Jayco Quest) The insurance company is declaring it a total loss and giving me 2 options:
1) take a pay out for substantially more than the market value.
2) take a payout for the market value get is back as salvage, and get it fixed on my own. $1800.00 to get back to usable condition.
I have are camping reservation at my favorite campground with the best campsite (right on the lake) in 3 weeks. Me and my family cannot decide what to do. Concidering we only camp 2-3 times per year, I am inclined to "take the money and run". However I love camping and will miss my long awaited camping trip this year. I have to make this decision withing the next couple of days if I hope to get my camper fixed before my vacation.
Any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
